Safety Warning 1. PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE ASSEMBLING YOUR GREENHOUSE.
2. Sharp edges and corners can cause injury. Always wear protective glasses, gloves, shoes and headgear when handling the aluminum profiles, glass and polycarbonate sheets. Broken glass is a safety hazard – always clear up immediately and dispose of with care.
3. The product you have purchased is intended only for the growing of plants and should only be used for this purpose. When used for other purposes we will take no responsibility.
4. It is recommended that this greenhouse is assembled by two people.
5. Should you encounter difficulties construct- ing this house, or in positioning the glass or polycarbonate sheets, please contact your retailer – do not use force!
6. The greenhouse must be well anchored.
Assembly Instructions Site Selection Try to select a sunny location, sheltered from the wind as much as possible.
Important Before assembling your new greenhouse, please check that all parts in the provided list are included. Please take each bundle out of the packaging in order to identify the parts better.
It is important that the opened bundles do not get mixed with one another.
If something is missing please contact your retailer.
Necessary Tools Screwdrivers (Flat-Head and Phillips), 10 mm spanner, box wrench, or nut driver. Also recom-mended to have on hand: caulking gun, ladder, razor blade cutter, measuring tape, level to check foundation.
Maintenance The greenhouse should be thoroughly washed with a gentle detergent occasionally. Please check that the detergent used does not react aggressively with aluminum, polycarbonate, or the glass fixing clips. Ensure that the upper and lower door tracks are cleaned regularly to avoid a build up of debris.
0.0 Base Important! The base must be exactly square and level. A zinc-coated steel base is available as an accessory for all greenhouse models.
(Attention! Only when the greenhouse has to be located in a very windy and unprotected location: Drill through both the sill at the base of the greenhouse and the steel base, and connect them with nuts and bolts. Be sure to position the bolts outside of the glass location.)
If you would rather construct your own lumber, stone, or concrete foundation, please follow the dimensions specified in diagram 0.
Treated wooden boards at least 3/4" high and not more than 1-1/4" wide should be positioned between the stone/concrete foundation and the aluminum frame, and connected to the founda-tion with anchor bolts at least 4" long (not pro-vided).
Foundations must extend down below the frost level for a glass greenhouse.

All diagrams are shown from the inside of the house, with the exception of those enclosed in a double frame, indicating an outside view.
1. Side Walls Lay all of the parts on the floor and connect them loosely.
For Saturn (Diana) – At this stage, it is neces-sary with each outside vertical aluminum bar (1032) to include an extra bolt in the track. This bolt is required to connect the cross braces (5095), see 1.2.
Loosely connect the corner plate (5091) (1.1).
In step 4 the corner plate bolts must also be connected to the gable ends.
2. Rear Gable End Lay all of the parts on the floor and connect them loosely. Leave 1/16" gap between the curved rib and the corner post (5034) (2.3).
Include two extra bolts in the vertical bars (5041 and 5042) to later connect the cross brace and diagonal braces (2.2 and 2.6). In the center verti-cal bar (5101), include only one extra bolt.
3. Door Gable End Lay all of the parts on the floor and connect them loosely.
The door track (5047) will be connected to the horizontal bar (2048) (3.12). Connect these loosely from the outside with three nuts and bolts.
As in Step 2, include two extra bolts in both vertical bars (5041 and 5042) (3.3).
Install horizontal bars 5096, 5097, 2089, 2090 (3.3). Install diagonal braces 5075 and 5076
(3.9). Install reinforcing bar 2094 (3.6, 3.7).
Connect parts 5001 and 5002, as shown in 3.10 and 3.11, with a nut and bolt.
4A. Connecting the separate Wall Frames See pages 12 and 13 for additional instruc-tions for 4AA. Connecting the Side Walls to the End Walls, and 4AB. Installing the Gutter.
Bolt the side walls to the end walls (4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.)
Install the ridge beam on the gable ends (4.4, 4.5).
Connect the door track supports (5043) to the door track (5047) and to the gable end, using washer (6060), bolt (1005), and spacer (1010) (4.6 and 4.13).
4B. Assemble the Roof Connect the roof glazing bars (5055) between the eaves (4.7) and the ridge bar (4.8).
Insert extra bolts into each glazing bar depen-ding on which greenhouse you have bought. The number is indicated in a circle on each bar and to be read beginning from both ends.
The roof braces (2057) (4.9) and the cross braces (5049) (4.11, 4.12, 4.13) can now be connected.
Now position your greenhouse on the prepared base/foundation and connect loosely. Adjust the greenhouse until it is completely square and tighten all bolts firmly. Do not overtighten. Too much tightening can break the aluminum bolts.
Press the end protectors (1017) onto the gutter ends (4.10).

5. Door Attention: Do not stand the assembled door on the door gliders (1014) to avoid damaging them.
Push the door gliders (1014) onto both ends of door bar (1060) (5.1).
Assemble the door as shown in diagram 5.
Connect door rollers (1015) to the door top bar (1062) using bolt (1004), washer (1009) and nut (1007) (5.4).
Bolt the door top bar (1062) to upper frame bar (1059) (5.3) and slide the door seal (5021) into the outside side bar (5058) (5.5). Slide bolts (1500) into the bottom of the bolt channel to hold brush seals (5021), and fit it in place using nut (1515) (5.6). Ensure that for the inside side bar, the part 5098 is used on the right in 5R and part 5099 in the left in 5L.
Connect the door locking tabs (1111, 1112, 1113) as shown. Connect bolt (2001) at the join between both (5047) as shown (5L).
Loosen the door track supports (5043).
The door rollers can now be slid into door track (5047) (5.7). Ensure that the door gliders are also running on the bottom track (5.8).
Once the doors are correctly in place, connect a nut and bolt into both ends of door track (5047) as door stoppers.
Adjust the door so that it moves freely by moving the door up in the connector slots in 1059.
TIP: To permanently hold the door top bar (1062) in the correct position with upper frame bar (1059), drill through both and secure with 2 small screws (not included).
6. Roof Vents Connect the side bars (1065) and the top bar (1064). For glass glazing, see (6.1). For 4 mm polycarbonate glazing, see (6.2).
Place the bolts to connect the bottom bar (1066) in the prepared holes, and then slide the glazing into the tracks in the side bars (1065) (6.3).
Now connect bottom bar (1066), and ensure that the window is totally square before tight-ening all bolts.
Position the window in the ridge bar at one end (6.4) and (6.5) and slide it to the required posi-tion (6.6).
Connect the window sill (1063) with the extra bolts in the roof glazing bars (6.7).
Install automatic vent opener (optional) if ordered separately. For manual vent control, bolt the window opener (1067) to the bottom bar (1066) using screws (1006) (6.8). Connect both window pins (2016) onto the window sill (1063) using screws (1006) (6.8).
Place the plastic cap (1019) over the end of the window opener (1067).
7. Glazing (Glass or Polycarbonate) Please note the already mentioned safety pre-cautions.
Press the glazing seals (1020) onto the alumi-num profiles (7.2) and cut to length.
On the roof, begin by positioning the glazing at the ridge and fix in place using the glazing spring clips (1011) (7.1).
For glass, use method 7A. The lower pane should slide under the pane directly above it with the overlap glazing clips (1012) between the panes (7.3).
(continued on next page)
csy update 10-6-14

Install the acrylic eave pane using the bendable aluminum clips (5012) (7.4). Hook clips over the acrylic panel and bend the panel to slip under-neath the glass pane above (#3). Now bend the aluminum clips up (7.4) to hold the glass in place. Install the spring clips (7.1). If difficulties arise in placing the last pane, check that those above have not slipped down.
On the sides begin glazing from the bottom.
When glazing the front or back, fit part 5012 as shown on pane 1 and bend it up to fix upper panes (7.4).
It is possible to replace any glass pane 1 with a louver window, except where there is a diagonal brace. (See recommended locations on drawing.) The louver window is not included.
If you’ve chosen insulating polycarbonate sheets instead of glass panes for your glazing, see the instructions for TwinWall glazing.
Finishing
If desired, it is possible to seal the greenhouse at the edges using silicon. Silicon is not included.
Place the warning label inside the greenhouse.

Taping Multi-Wall Panels
Peel plastic coating from edge
Overlap tape 1/4" onto panel
Press tape into place
Mark “outside” of panel revised Fall 2012
NOTE: Inspect the panels and read the information printed on the protective film. One side of the panel is specially treated to face the sun.
When the panels were cut to size, small particles may have entered the flute channels. Compressed air has been used to clear the flutes. Peel off the protective film from the inside of the panel and inspect the panel closely. Remove any remaining particles with a vacuum or compressed air. Do not flush the flutes with water because it may take a long time to dry out.
The ends of the polycarbonate panels should be protected to keep out dust and insects. This is done with a special breath-able tape, aluminum channel, clear polycarbonate channel, or by fitting the panel into a groove in the greenhouse framework.
Apply 1" wide Breathable Tape (B7524) 1) Lay out Multi-Wall panel on clean, flat surface with UV side down and end to be taped next to you.
2) Peel back plastic film on each side of Multi-Wall panel, about 4"-6" from edge.
3) Measure Multi-Wall panel width; cut tape to length.
4) Peel off protective backing from Breathable Tape.
5) With one end of tape in each hand, start one end with about 1/4" overlap onto panel. Pulling tight with opposite hand, press other end in place with 1/4" overlap onto panel.
6) Using fingers, press tape evenly across end and then fold onto back side and smooth out back side.
NOTE: Only remove the panel protective film from the inside of the panels before installation. Peel back the outside protective film about 4" from the edge, but leave the outside film on the panel until after installation is complete. (It is difficult or impossible to tell the inside from the outside once both films have been removed. You may want to place a small mark with a permanent marker at one corner of the panel to avoid future confusion.)
WARNING: Do not store panels in direct sunlight. The protective film would become very difficult to remove.

A. Foam Tape
Apply to ridge beam or ledger - except where there is a roof vent - before installing your polycarbonate panels.
Roll size: 3/8" wide x 5/16" thick x 10 ft. long (#Z7520)
The purpose of this Foam Tape is to support the polycarbonate panels at the top, and to pro- vide better sealing where there could be significant heat loss.
Refer to the illustration ( XXXX) on where to place the Foam Tape. (Install along both sides of Ridge Beam for free-standing green-houses, and along the Ledger for home-attached greenhouses – except where there is a roof vent.)
Cut the tape to fit between the rafters, and install the tape on the Ridge Beam or Ledger. B. Silicone Sealant 1. Apply 1/8" bead silicone where polycarbonate panels fit into Ridge Beam or Ledger. 2. Apply 1/8" bead where polycarbonate panels fit into aluminum channels (inside and outside). 3. Apply 1/16" bead to outside top and bottom of vent panels.

Manufacturer-Approved Cleaning Procedures for Multi-Wall Polycarbonate, Acrylic & APET
The UV-resistant surface treatment on one side of the polycarbonate sheet significantly improves long-term weatherability. Periodic cleaning using proper procedures and compatible cleaners is recommended to prolong the service life. For general cleaning, it is recommended that the following instructions and cleaning agents be used. These procedures and cleaners are also recommended for use on the untreated, interior surface of the poly- carbonate sheet, and for acrylic and APET plastics. CLEANING PROCEDURES 1. Rinse sheet with lukewarm water. 2. Wash sheet with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. Use a soft cloth or sponge and gently wash with an up and down
motion in the same direction as the flutes, as shown in Fig. 3. 4. Rinse the cloth or sponge and change the water often.
DO NOT SCRUB or use brushes or squeegees. The coating on polycarbonate sheets is UV-resistant; IT IS NOT A MAR-RESISTANT COATING.
5. Repeat rinse and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incompatible in a short-term test, it will usually be found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated. Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and the products must be tested under actual end-use conditions by the user.
Polycarbonate sheets are treated on one side for protection against UV damage. This treated side must face outward or toward the light source to provide protection for polycarbonate sheet.
Cleaning Agents that have been found to be COMPATIBLE with polycarbonate sheets under laboratory conditions: Freon T.F. Joy Palmolive Liquid Top Job VM&P grade Naptha Windex with Ammonia Brillianize®
Cleaning Agents that have been found to be INCOMPATIBLE with polycarbonate sheets under labo-ratory conditions and should NOT be used: Lysol Pinesol Butyl Cellosolve DO NOT USE Isopropanol Formula 409
